How we’re different

Help your audience
see what matters.

Tell us what people need to see or understand. We’ll help you choose the shots and work out how to make them within your scope and budget.

We help shape the script, plan the shoot and put people at ease on camera. We explain the choices as we go, so you know what to expect and can help shape the work.

01 / Bolt motion control

Build the shot.
Refine the look.

Bolt can repeat the same camera move. We can change the light, product or action and compare the shots. That helps us work toward the look your video needs, one change at a time.

One move / multiple passes

Layer camera movement with subject movement.

Repeat the camera path while controlling its aim. A rotating turntable adds another layer of movement. Base rotation, lift and arm movement work with pan, tilt and roll. Refine lighting, action and timing between passes. Illustration of coordinated movement.

02 / LED & virtual production

See the setting
while we shoot.

An LED wall puts a digital background behind real people and props. You can see how the scene looks as we shoot, and make choices about the light and setting while the team is there.

How tracking connects the two

Make the background
follow the camera.

As the camera moves, the background needs to change too. Tracking updates the view so nearby and faraway objects move the way you expect. That helps the person or product feel part of the scene.

How tracking works

The tracking system reports the camera’s position and orientation. Using the lens setup, the engine renders the prepared world from that viewpoint. The process video shows OHD combining Bolt, an LED wall, Unreal Engine and Nuke.

Tracking on: the engine updates the camera-facing background. Nearby trees shift more than the distant mountains.
  1. 01 Track the camera.
  2. 02 Render its viewpoint.
  3. 03 Display it on the wall.
  4. 04 Capture subject + background.

03 / Phantom Flex4K

Give people time
to see the detail.

Some parts of a shot happen too fast to notice. Slow motion gives people time to see the splash, texture or small movement that helps tell your product’s story.

04 / Food & drink

Make the food
look worth trying.

We plan the food, light and movement to show texture and detail. The goal is to make the product look as appealing on screen as it does in front of you.

06 / Powered by OHD Studios

Work out the hard
parts early.

OHD Studios brings studios, gear and the people who know how to use them into the plan. We can try ideas, work through problems and explain the choices as the project takes shape.
